Wooley necked stork at Vidisha


Wooley necked stork sited at a pond in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh. This is a broad winged soaring bird, which flies with its neck outstretched. It is a large bird, all black except for the woolly white neck and white lower belly. It walks slowly and steadily on the ground seeking its prey, which like that of most of its relatives, consists of amphibians, and large insects.
